About this experience
Explore Bologna over the course of a private tour with an expert English-speaking guide.

Other highlights include piazza del Nettuno, the Santo Stefano complex, San Petronio, and the Asinelli and Galisenda towers, as well as lesser-known canals and porticos.

Itinerary
1
Fontana del Nettuno
This small group tour, for a maximum of 14 people, is a great way to discover Bologna with others! It provides an insight into the history of this small and ancient city. A local and top rated guide will meet you in the city centre, before taking you to explore this beautiful city. There’s no need to worry about the weather, no matter if it’s raining or sweltering, there are nearly 40 kilometres of porticos to keep you dry or shaded, and nearly every significant attraction in the city is just a few minutes' walk. The starting point will be the graceful Neptune fountain,
2
Piazza Maggiore
If you’re fascinated by art and history you’ll relish the chance to visit piazza Maggiore which includes the palaces constructed for public administration (Palazzo del Podestà, Palazzo di Re Enzo and Palazzo del Capitano del popolo)
3
Archiginnasio Di Bologna
You will visit the courtyard of the Archiginnasio, once one of the most important buildings of the renowed Università di Bologna.
4
Quadrilatero
Walk into the heart of the historic center of Bologna and discover the Medieval Market with its characteristic "holes".
5
Le Due Torri Torre degli Asinell
Not far from the Palace are the famous towers, Asinelli and Garisenda, which were referenced by Dante in his ‘Divine Comedy’. These towers appear to lean even more dramatically than the famous leaning tower of Pisa, due to their narrow shape.
6
Finestrella
You’ll also have chance to see one of the ‘lost’ canals of Bologna. A small window on via Piella provides a rare glimpse of a canal dating back to the Middle Age, dug to bring the waters of the two rivers into the city centre
